E-Mails are also excellent, if you want to push through something unpopular. Send a long e-mail that will be ignored by most people. Repeat at least once. Then you can reference back to it at a later date.

Docx is bloated XML, but much better than the binary formats before.

Apple‘s AirPrint standard for wireless printing is pretty much sending a PDF over IPP.

Zulip integrates with Jitsi, Zoom, and Bigbluebutton for voice and video chat. Looks like a sensible solution.
- Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app? 1 week ago:
Not bad is a good description. It’s not fun to use compared to other chat software.

Call them cretins all you want, Discord in a great piece of software and very powerful. The usability is better than most others.

Yes, enshittification of Discord has started a while ago, and it’s becoming worse.

There are alternative App Stores in Europe for iOS. So far they haven’t been very successful, because of Apple‘s interference.
- Comment on What's your preferred version to watch Deep Space Nine? Is AI upscale worth it? 2 weeks ago:
The LaserDisc version of DS9 is available on archive.org, seasons 1 to 3. The aspect ratio is wrong for me when watching it in the browser. Download the files directly and watch locally.
Live long and enjoy :)

Why do you like it? It wastes a lot of space and lacks features compared to voyager and Blorp.
- Comment on Any Good Desktop or Phone Clients for Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
Big fan of Blorp

Big radish is behind this for sure.

That looks very intriguing and useful. Thank you.
- Comment on Self-hosting paradox: Windows for specifically MS word 2 weeks ago:
Working in Remote Desktop for an extended amount of time is no fun. It’s possible, but you need the right version of windows and office to do that.
I wouldn’t want to rely on complex solutions like that for an essential for work. Now you have to administrate your local computer and the remote server.
Run a windows VM directly on your Linux machine. No need to make it more complicated. At least then you don’t depend on a working internet connection.
Alternatively try to run MS Word using WINE on Linux.
If you don’t want to buy a license use these scripts.
You really seem to need MS Office. It’s not necessary to make your life harder by building complex solutions. Run windows if it makes your life easier.
Other alternative: buy an Apple device and run MS Office for Mac. That’s the only reliable way to use it without windows.

Statcounter is running on more than a million websites. They track user metadata across these websites.
While this doesn’t give you absolute numbers for everything, it should be enough to notice trends.

The short and bloodless battle could have been sold better. In a TNG episode someone (Worf) would have mentioned some ancient Klingon marital ritual of ritual combat. Even better when it’s a story from Klingon mythology. Then they could call a P‘Qouth and duke it out for a symbolic minute.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x04 "Vox in Excelso" 3 weeks ago:
Sensible post, besides the glorification of the Ottoman Empire. The brutality and corruption of the Ottomans are the reason the Middle East and to a lesser extent the Balkans are such a shitshow.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x04 "Vox in Excelso" 3 weeks ago:
Ritual combat is a thing.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x04 "Vox in Excelso" 3 weeks ago:
Ritual combat is something Klingons have a lot of cultural understanding and respect for. This fits right in.
